> Most companies don't have interesting FE work
While true, I think it's a bit more nuanced than that.
The most attractive companies have at least 2 of 3 qualities that make front-end work significantly easier:
- engineering permission to use sensible tooling (typescript, openapi type generation, etc)
- strong / focused product team (stable roadmap for project requirements)
- modern ux designers (able to design a component library & can easily communicate changes (Figma))
I've noticed that companies that get this right tend to have healthier work cultures & deliver on expectations without stress.
Companies that don't tend to have front-end work defined by a sense of impermanence, lingering technical debt, and pain.
